aid their revision. This is because he is committed to helping his
students excel in economics and attain the results they want.

may
require extra help outside of lessons when they are doing
self-revision. Mr Anthony Fok will be glad to entertain any
questions in person after lessons – in fact, he will be more than
happy to be able to help. They can also ask him questions over SMS

be learning in an air-conditioned classroom, and can help themselves
to the sweets placed on the tables whenever they find themselves
sleepy or unable to concentrate.

3. Flexible Schedule

While
no
refunds are offered, students who are unable to attend a lesson due
to various reasons are able to make arrangements to come for an
alternative one within the same week. This is because we understand
that students have busy schedules!

4. All-you-need-to-know notes
that are reader-friendly and easy-to-understand

If
students
find their school’s lecture notes difficult to understand and too
thick, they will be glad to receive notes from JC Economics

being brief, succinct and yet comprehensive, great for quick
revision sessions right before examinations or tests.

5. Have their work marked

for marking as well.

The Tutor

“I
help to shorten the learning process and bridge the gap between
what was taught in schools and what eventually appears in the
national examinations. Students look for me because they want to
achieve their ‘A’ grade and I am confident that I can deliver the
results they want, as long as they work hard together with me.”

Introduction

Mr.
Anthony Fok is the founder of JC Economics Education Centre, and
is the only Economics tutor teaching all lessons.Mr Anthony Fok
enjoys sharing his experience as a full time Economics tutor and
has been prominently featured in print (The Straits’ Times, Lianhe
WanBao, The New Paper, TODAY, Singapore Business Review amongst
others) on television (Channel 5) and on radio (938Live).

Qualifications

Mr
Anthony Fok is zealous in Economics and Education. He graduated
with a Bachelor of Accountancy (Honours) Nanyang Technological
University (NTU), and a Masters of Education from Monash
University, Australia. He also holds a Postgraduate Diploma in
Education (PGDE) from National Institute of Education (NIE). He is
currently pursuing his PhD in Education, specializing in Economics
education, to constantly upgrade himself and develop greater
proficiency in teaching.

Wealth
of Experience

With
his distinctive style of teaching, Mr Anthony Fok started JC
Economics Education Centre in 2012. He tutors more than 200
students yearly who have benefitted tremendously from his
coaching. He also used to teach in MOE schools before he became a
full-time private tutor.

Teaching
Methodology

Mr
Anthony Fok distinguishes himself from other Economics tutors by
catering to learners of various learning styles. He recognizes
that each student has a different way of learning and faces unique
problems. He thus makes use of a variety of teaching methods to
help as many students learn as possible. However, he believes
strongly that interest is crucial for students to succeed in a
particular subject and the very first step towards attaining a
good grade for it. He thus makes his lessons relevant and
fascinating by including anecdotes and real world events. This
allows Economics to come to life instead of remaining as a
lifeless subject students mindlessly study, as if it is pure
memory work. He also focuses on what’s most important for
examinations, the skills and the concepts necessary so that
revision is efficient but comprehensive.

Values

Mr
Anthony Fok has found his calling in life as an Economics tutor,
and he believes that passion is crucial for success. This is how
he inspires his students, to love what they do and then do well in
it.
“I enjoy teaching and I am lucky to be able to find great
satisfaction in my work.”

How Lessons are Like

Mr Anthony Fok
knows what is required to excel at the
examinations. He will help bridge the gap between school’s
teaching and the
questions students face during tests. This speeds up the learning
process,
making Economics less painful and even enjoyable to study.

1: A Strong
Foundation

Students busy
with the demanding JC curriculum may find it
difficult to keep up with all their subjects, including Economics.
They may not
be able to find the time to constantly keep up with the concepts,
which is
required as a strong foundation is the first and most crucial step
to success.JC
Economics Education Centre will try to strengthen student’s
concepts during the
lessons, repeating key concepts if necessary to ensure students
are clear in
their understanding. Constant contact with the syllabus through
lessons will
keep studentsfamiliar with their concepts, which will be at their
fingertips
when they need it.Students who attend lessons may have various
aims, either to
ask questions, to consolidate their understanding or go beyond the
school’s
curriculum – JC Economics Education Centre will be able to provide
help to all
students who want to improve their grade in one way or another.

2: Building Bridges
with Skills

Now that the
foundation is laid through proper and concrete
understanding of economics concepts, the next step is to tackle
questions.
Students find it hard to bridge this gap, as they find it hard to
put their
economic theories to paper when they see questions. Moreover,
theories are
rarely symmetrical with reality and students are now expected to
reconcile this
divergence and seeming opposition. This may indeed be challenging
and
mind-boggling initially. But as students go through essays and
case studies,
they will learn how to see the contrast and understand the
limitations of the
real world, and why ceteris paribus does not hold. As they come
into greater contact
with questions that are similar to those that will be tested at
the end of the
day, they will gradually become adept at handling any question
that comes their
way.

3: For the Sky-High
Grade

To reach for
that penultimate grade, it is incredibly important
for students to be well-versed in the Singaporean Economy. The A
Level examinations
often test Essay and Case Study questions that require students to
be familiar
with the workings of the local economy. Students must know the
various economic
aspects of Singapore, its defining features and the challenges it
faces. Lessons
thus offer students a window into understanding the Singapore
economy, either
when Mr Anthony Fok discussesrecent economic events and relates
them to
Singapore, or when he applies concepts to the local context. Of
course, how the
Singaporean economy operates can be well understood when students
also learn
about other economies. Afterall, economies are mutually
interdependent, and
thus getting in touch with and distinguishing between different
economies will
help students see the links and apply the concepts they learn.
Students are
introduced to not only the major ones, like China, USA and Japan,
but will also
gain insights on other economies like Malaysia or Vietnam. Armed
with such
knowledge that may not necessarily be emphasized in schools,
students have an edge
over their peers who are not exposed to such economic realities.
Students then have
a deeper understanding of how economics is like in real life.
Economics is happening
in real time as the students prepare for their exams, and they
have to use this
to their advantage, translating such knowledge to perceptive
arguments in their
answers. This makes their essays insightful, impressive and thus
superior to
others.

5: Tools at One’s
Disposal

Excelling in
anything requires one to first find the right
tools. To help students, many tools are available at JC Economics
Education
Centre. Firstly, students who wish to do extra practice to sharpen
their skills
are often discouraged from doing so as their teachers may be too
busy to mark
extra work. However, extra practice is almost always required, and
if they do
not receive comments, any work is futile as they will not know how
to improve.
Thus, Mr Anthony Fok takes the time and effort to mark through the
work
submitted by his students, providing comments so that the student
can proceed
from their and constantly refine their skills with each practice
they
undertake.Secondly, students may face obstacles while studying
independently,
outside of tuition. They may be confused by a concept and this
slows down their
revision as they are unable to continue without getting the
concept right first.
Worst, they may ‘move on’ without proper understanding, making for
a shaky
conceptual foundation. Thus, Mr Anthony Fok is available via text
messaging,
providing timely help for students who urgently require conceptual
explanation.

5: Full Speed
before the Big Day

Time is a
premium as students struggle to complete their
revision before the examination. In order to succeed, students
need to use their
time wisely, making every second count. JC Economics Education
Centre will be here
to help students go “full-speed” by offering students targeted
model essays and
comprehensive, succinct notes. Students are thus able to maximize
their
revision time, covering as much base in as little time as
possible. Intensive
revision classes are also provided during the holidays and right
before the actual
A Levels, so that students can catch up on their learning, and
ensure that they
are in top form right. This also helps students build up the
momentum as they
prepare for the examinations, and gives them the assurance they
need that they
are indeed fully prepared for the actual examination.
